For the procedures to implement the safeguarding policy, the Faithful Companions of Jesus sisters follow the Guidance of the National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church in Ireland (NBSCCCI) available at https://www.safeguarding.ie/guidance.

We, Faithful Companions of Jesus in Ireland, wish to reassure all that we are committed to the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults and will work with the NBSCCCI to ensure that this commitment will continue to be a priority for us. We apologise sincerely to any person who may have been harmed by a member of our Congregation.

In 2014, The Sisters Faithful Companions of Jesus in Ireland invited theNBSCCCI to conduct a review of their FCJ safeguarding policies and procedures. We acknowledge the work that was done by the NBSCCCI in conducting this review. We welcomed the report of the review and its findings and have accepted and implemented the recommendation made in the report.
